America's Army True Soldiers

 (13 customer reviews)

ok first let me start off by saying that I am actually a soldier so I had mixed feelings going into this game. If you have played the one for PC you would know why.
I will say this though, i am pleasantly suprised. The game has great graphics and it is not like a lot of those other shooters out there where they just run and gun. You have a squad you have teammates-use them and dont let them get hurt. I found myself havig a couple of hours turn into a day of training and wargames. which are not easy. You dont just shoot. You breathe you aim all the things that regular shooters dont usually take into consideration.
there are a couple of quirks but then again I know why they were put in there. I.E. Look at your soldiers uniforms. Thats all i will say.
controls are good not perfect but they are damn good. once in a while you may miss what you thought was dead on but thats because you( the soldier) breathed when you fired or you moved. such a little thing will throw your aim...Read more

If you're looking for a great game that rewards you for working as a team, this is it. In order to be promoted you must earn Honor (not most kills in a game). To earn Honor you need to work as a team and medic injured teammates or drag them out of the line of fire. To get the maximum Honor you need to complete all primary and secondary objectives with all team members surviving while keeping your entire squad near its leader. A great change from all those run-gun-respawn games that are out there. The training is pretty easy but the Wargames give a bit more challenge. These two modes are where you can earn skill points to improve your soldier in several different categories. The on-line is where the game is the strongest with many CO-OP modes as well as a campaign, solo, and competitive training games, with a ton of options for each.

Tough game. Don't expect to go for broke straight out of the box. To get to the meat of the game you really have to develop your Soldier on the ranges and in training missions. If you want auto-aiming and the ability to save your game just before the going gets tough, then COD4, Ghost Recon and such games are for you. If you want your training and fitness level to affect your ability to aim and the challenge of not being able to save your place in combat, then give this one a go.
